AN: Chapter 9 done, nothing to say again, so let's get to the chapter already.

Chapter 9: Preparation

Dagoba Municipal Beach Park:

Izuku looked at the breathtaking sight of ocean miles away from seaside he's been standing, this kind of sight really calm him down whenever he's stressed, it's been a day after the USJ Incident and it's also the day where he... fight actual villains, even though he didn't have control of himself at that time

"It's been...a decade ever since I discover who I am and train here...on this place" Izuku muttered under his breath while watching some waves crash on his feet

"It's really good sign Aizawa-sensei and the others bought that..." he added as he remembered all the things he told his teachers in order to hide his identity, he's still not ready to tell anyone yet...

Flashback:

"So...what exactly happen back there?" Aizawa asked him

"I don't know..."

"You don't know? it's your own quirk for everyone's sake and you don't know what you just did...are you hiding something?" His teacher followed up

"..."

"Hey Aizawa, he just woke up you know, don't you think it's a bit too much to ask him questions like that?" All Might asked, Aizawa look at him with a neutral expression

"I'm just trying to figure out what's going on here, All Might, I just want to be prepared in case something like this happened again" Aizawa told him

"..."

"But..." Izuku followed up

Aizawa and the occupants turn to Midoriya, it seems that he wants to say something

"...From what I can see, it seems that was my powered-up state my quirk has, but in ten years I've been training my powers, I don't even have time to explore it because it just occur when I fell into some sort of emotional breakdown...and I often lost control of myself every time I did it" Izuku told them, half-truth

"You mean...your quirk can boost its power even further when you're emotional disoriented or in a pinch...that's the first time I've ever heard of it" All Might said

"Me too...in fact, according to research, there's no way quirks can't undergo such things like strength augmentation or anything alike, unless they're tampered, that is..." Recovery Girl added

"So are you saying your quirk was artificial?" Aizawa asked him, Izuku immediately shook his head

"No, of course not, sensei!" he answered, Aizawa look at him for one last time before sighing

"Okay, I'll let this pass, but if another incident like this occurs, expect a punishment and I don't care if you did it on purpose or not...take a rest kid, you need it" Aizawa said before leaving the three, after he left, Izuku let out a sigh of relief

"So, young Midoriya, I'll be on my way as well, make sure you control that quirk of yours so it can't cause trouble" All Might said as he too went outside, leaving him and Recovery Girl

"Okay, just as the two said, you should lay down for a while, I don't see any serious injury on your body when I examine you while you're unconscious so all you have to do was to take a long rest before you join the others outside" Recovery Girl said, Izuku nodded as he went back to his bed

End Flashback:

Izuku realize that he stay in the beach too long so he decided to go home, there are no school today thanks to the incident so he decided to use this time to clear his mind of anything that was stressful and hopefully, it will make him feel better

Next Day at U.A.:

"Okay, about the Ringleaders, Shigaraki and Kurogiri...none of the name matches the database on quirk registry...it means that those two are probably using false names or-"

"They're the one of the people with unregistered quirks" Midnight said, the chief inspector nodded at that, after he manage to extract information from the captured villains, he found out the ringleader's names but he wasn't sure if it was their real name or not so he consult the U.A to see if they knew someone with that name

"That's right"

All the school teachers/heroes were having a meeting regarding the USJ incident that involves Class 1-A, of course that includes All Might

"But still...attacking a place that was guarded by pro Heroes just like that...it's either they're stupid or overconfident on their abilities" another hero said

"I don't think so..." Aizawa said, everyone look at him

"How are you so certain at that, Eraser head?"

"Because among the Villians who invade USJ, there's one that actually had a power that can possibly rival All Might's" Aizawa said, shocked faces can be seen on some heroes

"What!"

"Are you serious?!"

"That Shigaraki was actually boasting it in front of me, I'm not believing it at first...until I saw and experience it myself, his speed and power can actually match All Might's and, in worst case scenario...may overpower him" Aizawa continued, everyone gossip at each other regarding the situation

"That definitely is a very serious matter"

"So, where is that villain right now? Did he manage to escape along with the two as well?"

"He's dead" Aizawa simply replied

"WHAT!"

"B-But you just told us recently that he had power that can match the no.1 Hero and now you're telling us that he's dead...how? What happened?"

"One o-" Aizawa suddenly stopped, confusing the others

"What? Is there something wrong, Eraser head?"

"..."

Aizawa for the first time, was conflicted if he's going to tell them that Midoriya was the one who kill that villain or not, because if he did tell them, it would attract a lot of unwanted attention and besides...they wouldn't believe it at all so with that...

"I manage to erase his quirk for just a moment and use my bandages to strangle it until it was killed, since it can't be killed by just brute force, I use technique on it" Aizawa told them, it was a complete lie but this was for that kid's sake, he's not ready yet for criticisms

"I see...as expected of a pro Hero"

"Y-Yeah but it wasn't easy, I have to calculate his movements very carefully or else I'm dead, his speed was really astonishing and I was really lucky that the villain isn't thinking at all, all he had was speed and power and no intelligence" Aizawa added

"I see"

As the meeting continues with the USJ incident as the main topic, All Might can clearly see that Aizawa was lying at that statement, so he decided to confront him after this

After the meeting:

"Aizawa, can I speak with you for a moment?" All Might said, Aizawa turn to him, everyone went into separate ways so this would be the best time

"What is it?"

"About what you said that you killed the villain...you're lied about it, right?" All Might asked, Aizawa didn't react at that until...

"Yes, I wasn't actually me, it was Midoriya who killed that villain" Aizawa admit, All Might gasp

"What!"

"I don't care if you believe me or not but I'm telling you the truth this time, Midoriya did killed it, I just took the credit because if I tell them the truth, not only that no one would believe me but also, Midoriya's well being would be put into danger and as his teacher, I can't let that happen" Aizawa said, All Might was actually stunned, he didn't see that coming from him

"I...see, that makes a lot of sense...but how did he do it?" All Might added

"He use his ability to control the air around to suffocate it" Aizawa answered him

"!"

"Well, if you're not going to say anything to me, I'll be going to my class" Aizawa said as he walk away, All Might just nodded at that, he was still stunned at what Aizawa told him but eventually he had to go to the faculty room for work

Class 1-A:

All of the students were present and gossiping at each other about what happened to the USJ a couple of days ago, meanwhile Izuku was now in better shape, however, he can't take off his mind about something

"Did I really killed that villain...I don't remember it at all" Izuku wondered to himself then without warning, Aizawa entered their classroom

"Morning" he greeted them

"Good Morning!" The students greeted back then he went to his desk and face them

"Well, first of all, you're fight isn't over yet..." Aizawa told them, everyone gasp at that

"Eh!"

"Don't tell me..."

"Villains again!"

"Wrong..." Aizawa said, everyone sigh in relief, they all thought that they're going to face some creepy villains again

"U.A. Sports Festival is drawing near..." he continued, everyone gasp again but this time, joy can be felt by each students inside

"ALRIGHT!"

"But wait a minute!" Jirou suddenly spoke, everyone turn to her

"..."

"Is it okay to have an event like that after the villain attack?" she asked,

"What if it was attacked again or something?" Ojiro followed suit

Aizawa close his eyes at that question and then he open it as if he had the answer for them

"Apparently, this was to show that U.A disaster management is as solid as a rock...besides, this is an event that can't be cancelled by just few villains, but the security was five times tighter than last year so you don't need to worry about it" Aizawa told them

"I see"

"This is a very important event for all aspiring heroes like you because this will be your huge chance to be noticed by pro heroes, since every heroes around the country will be watching this event" Aizawa continued

"For scouting purpose, right?" Momo said

"Exactly..."

"Alright! I'm fired up!"

"So, with that said, you can't afford to slack off on this important event, so you better prepare yourself and bring your A game on this one!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Homeroom is dismissed"

Lunchtime:

"The excitement isn't dying down" Kirishima said

"That's right! This is an event we can't miss, we better give everything we got" Rikidou agreed to him

"What should I do? I'll stand out by just standing out there? the pro Heroes may fight over me" Yuuga asked them but really, no one was actually listening to him at all

"No fair, Shoji, your brawns were standing out already" Kaminari commented, the six armed guy nodded at that

"Right, it would be useful for me"

"What about me, Ojiro-kun, do you think I have a chance" Tooru asked, Ojiro just laugh awkwardly at her

"W-Who knows...but if you do your best, they may notice you right away" he replied to her

"T-that's right"

Amidst of all the excitement each students felt about the festival, Midoriya was deep in thought about something until Iida tap him on his shoulder, snapping him out

"Iida-kun"

"What's with that face Midoriya, don't tell me you're not excited about the festival, are you?" he asked, Izuku shook his head

"O-Of course, I'm excited too, it's just that I have something to think about" Izuku said

"Do you have a problem? you can tell me if you're comfortable enough" Iida said

"I'm sorry but it was personal problems" Izuku said

"I understand, but if you ever change your mind, let us know and we'll help you in any way we can" Iida said, Izuku smile at him

"Thanks"

"Izuku-kun, Iida-kun..." the two heard Uraraka said, they turn to her to see...

"LET'S DO OUR BEST TOGETHER!" She shouted with deep voice while raising her right fist up in the air, the two were actually stunned at her change of behavior

"Y-Yeah"

"YEAH!"

"Well, let's go to the cafeteria, I'm actually hungry" Izuku suggested, his two friends nodded and they went outside the room and went to the said place to eat.

Cafeteria:

"But still, I heard that Aizawa-sensei manage to drive all the villains away, as expected of pro Hero, they're really amazing" Uraraka said as she, Izuku and Iida were eating their food but then she turn to Izuku and ask something

"Come to think of it, Izuku-kun, what exactly happen to you back there?" she asked

"Eh"

"I mean, you were there as well right? I still remember how you actually blasted that mist villian away and then you actually followed him, did you help Aizawa-sensei after that?" she asked

"Um...that's...y-yeah, but I did almost nothing in there, actually...so..." Izuku said uncertainly

"Don't you say those things Midoriya!" Iida said

"!"

"No matter how big or how small you did back there, you still manage to help Aizawa-sensei and also thanks to you, we manage to escape unharmed" Iida continued

"..."

"So that's why don't you dare say that you did nothing, actually...it was us who did nothing but to run away" Iida told him

"N-No but actually, it was dangerous so we have no choice but to evacuate at that time and I heard that you manage to call for help so you also did something back there" Izuku said

"But still..."

"Well, it's all over now and we're safe so it doesn't matter at this point" Uraraka said

"That's right!"

And with that settled, the three continued their peaceful lunch

Later:

Afternoon classes was over and the students of class 1-A were ready to head home, but when Uraraka opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of many students, crowding in front of them, some were holding a phone and taking pictures of them

"W-What's going on here?!" She shouted

"What business do you have with Class 1-A?" Iida asked them

"We can't get out!" Mineta complain but then, before he do something stupid, Bakugo beat him to it and step in front of them

"Scouting for an enemy, small fry..." he said

"WHA-!"

"We're the ones who made it out from the villain's attack, they're checking us out before the festival" Bakugo continued, Izuku sweat dropped at that

"That's Kacchan in neutral voice" He told Mineta

"But, that was pointless..." Bakugo said as he was now in front of the crowd, some students show fear due to his delinquent appearance and his face

"Out of my way, extras!" he growled at them

"WHAT!"

"Hey! stop call them 'extras' just because you don't know them" Iida warned him but he was ignored, just then, a new voice was heard from the crowd

"I actually came to see what the famous Class 1-A was like, but it seems that all of them were arrogant" a boy with a purple hair said, he was plowing through the crowd until he reach the front, he then face Bakugo

"I assume that everyone in the hero course was like this guy..."

"!"

"Listen well, all the students here are from different course because they didn't make it into hero course, but the sports festival gave us a chance to be transfer over here...in other words, some of you may be transfer out as well"

"Eh"

"Scouting an enemy huh...well maybe you're right, but let me warn you, if you get too carried away, you might ended up losing before you know it"

"..."

"With that, I came with a declaration of war"

"!"

"This person's bold too!" All 1-A students thought in unison, Bakugo's gaze didn't changed as he glared at the purple haired boy until...

"HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!"

"Huh..." Izuku turn to see a white haired boy with white outlines on his eyes, shouting something about...

"I'M FROM CLASS 1-B! I CAME TO SEE THE CLASS 1-A WHO FOUGHT VILLAINS!" He shouted and then, after he manage to take a good look at them...

"DON'T GET TOO FULL OF YOURSELF!"

"This person's bold too!" everyone thought in unison as well

"DON'T BARK TOO MUCH OR IT'LL EMBARRASSED YOU DURING THE REAL FIGHT!" he shouted but at this point, Bakugo just went pass him

"ARE YOU IGNORING ME?!"

"Hey Bakugo! What are you going to do about this?!" Kirishima yelled at him, the ash blond boy stop for a moment

"It's your fault that they're hating us now" he added, Bakugo's expression didn't change

"It doesn't matter..." he replied to him

"Huh"

"It doesn't matter as long as you aim to the top" Bakugo said before walking away, leaving them in complete silence

"DAMN IT! YOU BASTARD!"

"S-S-So manly and simple at the same time" Kirishima said, clenching his fist, Kaminari was shocked at his expression

"Huh..."

"You said it" Rikidou followed

"EH!"

"The top huh, I guess he did have a point" Tokoyami agreed to them

"HEY! Don't you realized that he just made pointless enemies" Kaminari told them but he was completely ignored as some of them went home

"That's right! We'll be at disadvantage at the festival thanks to him" Mineta said, supporting Kaminari's statement and just like Kaminari, he too was ignored

"The top, huh..."Izuku repeated

Dagoba Municipal Beach Park:

"That's right..."Izuku said, clenching his fist, he actually went back here before going straight home, this place gives him an opportunity to become stronger and also, this place served as a stepping stone for him to achieved his dream to become a hero

"I must control my own power if I'm going to aim at the top..." he said as he went home, his mom was worried at him for sure

The sport's festival will begin in two weeks, so everyone is doing their best to train and conditioned their mind and body for the upcoming event, and since it was being broadcast on TV as well, it's not just the pro Heroes but everyone in the whole country was going to witness our performance...

...And then, time passed on a blink of an eye and the morning of the sports festival arrived.
